Presentations and Resources

Easy-to-do Activities
The following activities from the National Children's Dental Health Month Program Planning Guide contain easy-to-do activities that can be done at any time. National Children's Dental Health Month takes place every February and strives to help children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
Dental Health Speaker
Contact the local dental society in your area to inquire about having a dental health month speaker come to your classroom.
Print and Video Resources
The American Dental Association produces a wide variety of educational materials, including pamphlets, posters, teaching packets and audiovisuals which can be viewed and purchased through the ADA Store .
Drinks Destroy Teeth
Free app for fun, interactive lessons about the effect of acid and sugar in popular drinks on teeth. Features videos, 3D mouth, vocabulary and a short quiz. Free curriculum resources are available on DrinksDestroyTeeth.org , an educational outreach program of the Indiana Dental Association.
Discussion Ideas Accordion
Name some things that you do to keep your body healthy. There are daily health habits that everyone needs to practice, such as eating a proper diet, exercising, bathing, and sleeping. Caring for your mouth is as important as caring for the rest of your body. Cleaning teeth and gums removes a sticky film of plaque. Plaque contains harmful bacteria that can cause tooth decay.
Show the USDA 'Choose My Plate' chart to children. Explain/review the food groups and why each is important for healthy bodies and teeth. List the five main food groups on a chalkboard or easel (grain, fruit, vegetable, dairy, and protein). Have children discuss some of their favorite foods and write them under the appropriate group. Bring enough healthy snacks to share with the children and ask them to identify its food group. Free reproducible MyPlate sheets for children are available from the United States Department of Agriculture .
Have children raise their hand if they had a tooth that fell out. Ask one or two children to describe what it feels like without the tooth. Discuss baby teeth. Some teeth are supposed to come out. They are called the "baby" teeth or "primary" teeth. After a baby tooth comes out, another tooth will come in. This new tooth must last for many, many years. You must take extra special care by brushing each day. (See also: Eruption charts: Primary Teeth and Permanent Teeth )
Ask children to make a list of what foods can be eaten without teeth and what foods must be chewed. Without teeth you couldn't chew crunchy foods like carrots, nuts, or apples. Have children pronounce the alphabet and tell which sounds are made by using the teeth, tongue, and lips. If you didn't have any teeth, it wouldn't be easy to say teeth, toys, or toothbrush.

Teaching Kids Healthy Habits
Show your young students an 8 minute video about tooth-healthy snacks for school. This is an edited segment of the 1st grade presentation by our hygienist, Dianne Powers, that focuses on snacks. Many thanks to Karen Robinson and the students in her Londonderry High School TV Production and Radio Broadcasting class!
Healthy Snacks
We also have videos for specific grade levels:
Oral Health Practices – Kindergarten & Grade 1 Oral Health Practices – Grade 2 & 3 Oral Health Practices – Grade 4 & 5
Oral health is an important part of overall health, and the Children’s Dental Network offers teachers in participating schools the opportunity to have a dental hygienist deliver an oral health presentation to their students. These presentations are available for students in PreK through grade 5 and may be offered at a different time in the school year than our screenings and in-school dental treatments.
Our hygienists collaborate with school nurses, secretaries and principals to notify teachers when dates and times are available for their school. In most schools, a sign-up sheet will be posted in the teacher’s room with available days and times.
During our presentations, we appreciate having teachers stay in the classroom to help reinforce the messages we share with students. We also thrive on and welcome feedback about the lesson.
Topics that we cover include the following:
Kindergarten and Pre-K Introduction to proper dental care: visiting the dentist, brushing technique, flossing and fluoride. "Bugsy" the puppet is used to help reinforce learning. At the end, a hands-on activity is offered using plastic mouth models.
Grade 1 Choosing healthy snacks for teeth, proper brushing habits, flossing, fluoride and a unique movie, Seal in a Smile 2016 , about sealants. "Bugsy" visits grade 1 as well. An interactive healthy snack game allows students to check their knowledge when grocery shopping.
Grade 2 Focus on prevention: review of tooth brushing and flossing techniques, introduction to ADA-approved dental products, importance of daily fluoride exposure, appropriate snacks to maintain good oral and overall health. A hands-on brushing activity using mouth models allows the students to practice what they've learned.
Grade 3 An interactive true or false game to review optimal dental health; a true test to see how much they have absorbed from previous years! A five minute video called " Be the Super Hero of Your Own Mouth " is played at the end of the lesson.
Grade 4 A modern Power Point titled "Rethink Your Drink"; an introduction to the effects of sugary beverages and their acid content on teeth and gums. Additionally, we educate about nutrition labels and introduce a simplified version of the pH scale. The Power Point is followed by a six minute movie, "If You're Sippin' Then You're Trippin' " that reviews the effects of soda and the benefits of milk and water.
Grade 5 An entertaining Power Point titled "Before You Head to Middle School"; this is the last year of in-class dental education for students so we spotlight the key points of grade four lesson and touch base on their younger years; kindergarten through grade three. Also, an introduction to gingivitis, tooth erosion and the stages of decay. The Power Point is followed by a five minute movie, " What Causes Cavities? " by Mel Rosenberg that reviews the effects of soda and acids while emphasizing the benefits of milk and water.

Preventive Services Program (PSP) Information
PSP is dedicated to improving healthy mouths for all Missouri Children through education and preventive services. The goal of PSP is to screen Missouri Children’s oral health and provide a public health intervention called fluoride varnish.
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic disease of childhood. Untreated tooth decay can cause pain and infections that may lead to problems with eating, speaking, playing and learning. Children who have poor oral health often miss more school and receive lower grades than children who have good oral health. Oral Health is an important part of general health.
The good news is that tooth decay is preventable. Fluoride varnish can prevent about one-third (33%) of cavities in the primary (baby) teeth.
To learn more about PSP or to volunteer at an oral health events go to Preventive Services Program (PSP) page .
